This one is such a great snapshot of a specific niche of punk and new wave back in the day. It's another I can listen to all the way through. (In fact, I may have to do a needle drop of this one soon.) And like the I.R.S. Greatest Hits 2&3, it introduced me to a lot of these bands. My only limitation back then was budget--I would have bought more of those records by artists featured on both of these 2-LP sets.Various Artists Urgh! - A Music War
I actually bought this for the "MacArthur Park Suite" as, at the time, that was the only way to get the entire version, and it had very heavy airplay here on the R&B/soul stations (the entire suite). The 12" single that followed had spliced in a remixed version of "Heaven Knows" and even to this day, that version bothers me since it upsets the flow of the track. I would guess Casablanca was afraid to release it as a 12" single initially since it would have made a big dent into sales of that 2-LP set.I did forget but I have the LP of Donna Summer Live and More. I also bought the import CD of this as well as the first release did not have the MacArthur Park Suite on it.
